Bic Lighter: A Stoner's Best Friend

Any stoner worth his weight in Buds, knows a Bic lighter is the only way to go. The flame is bold and bright, it ignites almost every time and it rips into green bud like Lawrence Taylor into Joe Theisman.

Other lighters have a wimpy flimsy flame that will often die at the first hint of a breath. And forget about smoking outside, wind often claims the heartiest of lighter flames. Another thing to avoid are Zippos. Zippos, according to Stoner Lore, contain bad chemicals that don't help your high, so avoid those, unless you can do real research to indicate they are harmless.

Bic lighters: clearly the best

Bic Hints:

1. Remove the safety so kids can use it too!

2. Look for soot on the bottom, a telltale sign a stoner has adjusted a bowl of burning herbs  to get a better rip.

3. Shake it when it's empty. If you hear anything, there's more fuel.

4. When they're dead, they're dead, so throw them away to avoid confusion and frustration.
